The Pharisees were a Jewish religious and political group during the Second Temple period, known for their strict adherence to the Law and oral traditions. They emphasized the importance of both written Scripture and oral interpretations, which contributed to their influence in Jewish society. The Pharisees are often portrayed in the New Testament as opponents of Jesus, particularly regarding their interpretations of the Law and their practices. Their legacy influenced later Jewish thought and the development of Rabbinic Judaism.
